"...the most toxic and brutally violent entities across the planet are going to lay down quietly and die."

Yep. That's actually what's going to happen. Consider how this will proceed. Let's suppose that there are two citizens of the government, you and I, and government depends on our taxes for it's maintenance. Government is greedy, and they take more than half of each of our production, so you and I live on the smaller part of our productivity. But, we tire of being so poor and working so hard for so little reward, so we figure out ways to increase what we keep of what we make. There are ways we can produce that create no taxable events, such as if we get a chicken we feed table scraps and eat the eggs the chicken produces. No taxable event is created, and we keep 100% of our production. Keeping the chicken is massively more productive than working for wages that are taxed to make enough money to buy some eggs, which transaction is taxed. We get ~4x more eggs for the same amount of productive work by raising our own chicken than we do by buying eggs with wages.

This decreases the amount of tax money the government gets, before the government can take steps to prevent it, if it can figure out a way to do that. Our abuser has less resources to fund abuse a priori, before it can up the abuse to prevent it.

That's how decentralization works. We take production in house, and don't create taxable events when we do. This decreases the amount of parasitic losses we suffer and dramatically increases the amount of resources we have before any steps can be taken to curtail the independent productive activity. That amount of increase in wealth we retain directly decreases the amount of wealth the government receives from us to fund abusing us, before it can act to abuse us and prevent losing it's income. When it gets around to abusing us to restore it's ability to live off our work, it will do so with that decreased income to fund that abuse.

When we undertake decentralized production that doesn't create taxable events in a broad variety of ways, say growing our own lumber and manufacturing our own homes, growing our own food and buying nothing from big ag, growing our own medicine and buying no medical prescriptions, and so on, and trading between us for things we don't make, we can massively increase our own wealth, and decrease the government's take to almost nothing.

When the government sends gangs of armed thugs after us to drag us to the torture center and persuade us to volunteer more taxes, the thugs will be armed with used baseball bats. We'll have 3D printed FGC-9's to hold them off with. The troops will flee to save their lives, and the ebil gubment will gnash their useless fangs in frustration as we skip off into the sunset arm in arm and they slink back into the swamp of eternal uselessness and eat bugs.

"...unless you figure out a way to upload your consciousness to the Internet..."

Geez. Considering that state actors could just hax us and turn us into apps at that point, that's hardly success. That's just guaranteed fail, all the way down.

Thanks!
